[jira] Commented: (UIMA-852) jcasgen.sh has trouble with import by name

["Marshall Schor (JIRA)" <ui...@incubator.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-852?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12576589#action_12576589 ] 

Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-852:
-------------------------------------

The import-by-name should only be looking things up in the class path (and datapath).  The description seems to say it *is* finding things by name if the the name is a relative path to where jcasgen is run.  Is this true?

An alternative to setting up the UIMA_DATAPATH is to put the paths where you want the import-by-name to look in, in the classpath.  Have you tried this, and is it working?  If it is working, is this a sufficient approach, or do you see a need for something more?

> If processing a typesystem file that uses <import name="some/path/to/blah">, and the path to blah is not relative to where jcasgen is run, jcasgen will fail because uima.datapath cannot be set.
> The simplest approach to resolve it would be to read the value from an evironment variable such as UIMA_DATAPATH.
